Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Virus
  • Gene
  • Immune system

His primary scientific interests are in Virology, Immunology, Hepatitis C virus, Virus and Humanized mouse. As part of his studies on Virology, he often connects relevant subjects like Antibody. His Immune system, Viral pathogenesis and Interferon study in the realm of Immunology connects with subjects such as Infectious disease.

His work deals with themes such as Cell culture, Viral replication and Hepatitis C, which intersect with Hepatitis C virus. The Virus study which covers Antigen that intersects with Glycoprotein complex, Viral envelope and T cell. He usually deals with Hepacivirus and limits it to topics linked to Hepatocellular carcinoma and Chronic infection.

His most cited work include:

  • Human occludin is a hepatitis C virus entry factor required for infection of mouse cells (808 citations)
  • Cell culture-grown hepatitis C virus is infectious in vivo and can be recultured in vitro (413 citations)
  • HIV therapy by a combination of broadly neutralizing antibodies in humanized mice (404 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Virology, Immunology, Hepatitis C virus, Virus and Immune system. His Virology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Humanized mouse, Cell culture and Antibody. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hepatocellular carcinoma and Transgene.

His study in the fields of Hepacivirus under the domain of Hepatitis C virus overlaps with other disciplines such as Occludin. His work deals with themes such as Hepatitis B and Interferon, which intersect with Virus. His research in Immune system intersects with topics in Human leukocyte antigen and Cell biology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Virology (81.05%)
  • Immunology (50.98%)
  • Hepatitis C virus (47.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Virology (81.05%)
  • Virus (30.72%)
  • Immune system (22.22%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Virology, Virus, Immune system, Viral entry and Hepatitis C virus are his primary areas of study. His study ties his expertise on Hepatitis E virus together with the subject of Virology. His research on Immune system concerns the broader Immunology.

His study in the field of Yellow fever vaccine and Immunization is also linked to topics like Treatment options and Opioid abuse. His Viral entry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Viral envelope, Lipid bilayer fusion and Syncytium. Alexander Ploss has researched Hepatitis C virus in several fields, including Chronic infection, Hepatocyte and Cyclophilin A.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Decoding type I and III interferon signalling during viral infection. (99 citations)
  • Hepatitis E virus: advances and challenges. (76 citations)
  • Selective expansion of myeloid and NK cells in humanized mice yields human-like vaccine responses (72 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Virus
  • Immune system

Alexander Ploss focuses on Virology, Immunity, Virus, Immune system and Immunology. His study in Virology focuses on Hepatitis B virus in particular. In his research, Innate immune system is intimately related to Interferon, which falls under the overarching field of Immunity.

His Virus research integrates issues from RNA, Subgenomic mRNA, Genome and Transcription. The study incorporates disciplines such as Myeloid, Viral pathogenesis, Transcriptome and Yellow fever vaccine in addition to Immune system. He is studying Viral infection, which is a component of Immunology.
